Relax breathe.
I know what it is and what it's used for and even the historical introduction of it when Design was proposed to be taught in school.
It just shows the depth of ignorance humans have resorted to.
Um no, the inventors of that fictional character FSM, was done to parody how humans swallow claims without thinking critically first.
All of the world in antiquity was ignorant because nobody new better back then, not the writers, not the buyers.
Just like you are right to reject a fictional God named "The Flying Spaghetti Monster". Just like you know and accept that Yoda isn't a real profit, but a mere character in a movie.
It was mostly intended to parody Christianity, but it does apply to all the religions of Abraham, and would to me also apply to all mythology in any case regardless.
If you start a proposition with a naked assertion, to me it would be as absurd as claiming that the NFL football Patriots beat the baseball Cubs in the pro ice hockey championship Stanley Cup.
Humans get sold the religions of their parents and unfortunately babies are not born with critical thinking skills. The good thing though, is we can work around our false perceptions, when we chose to.
